May Pickups
 

This crisp T210-7 arrived yesterday,

A. J. Dussault was a catcher on the Rocky Mount team, and a teammate of the great athlete Jim Thorpe.

I first learned of A. J. Dussault when Rhett Yeakley found a RPPC of both Dussault and Jim Thorpe 13 years ago.

Here's a link to that thread:https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=127277

nice start to the month

Nice Brian, that Holmes to Homes is awesome.

Thank you for the kind words. It will keep these company.

Crystal clear. Beautiful card.

Wow, and those don’t have the paper loss you see on most of the (very few) examples out there. You need to get the entire subset. It shouldn’t be too hard or expensive ;)

Been looking for a Rube portrait for a while…

New Old Judge cabinet. It's a new pose that is not in the OJ bible.

Nice pick up, Craig!

And but did you find a great looking example :eek:

The pin and postcards are from LOTG. The signed Doors pic is from Gottahaverocknroll - forgive me Leon, I know it’s not vintage baseball, but I have to show it off somewhere

Busy month for me so far; the V351s are really difficult to find

Nice Doors pickup. Robbie Krieger signed? Maybe hidden in his hair?

Thanks. Unfortunately, the Robbie signature is in his hair

That's an early Doors photo.

Ryan what year do you estimate / know the photo is? 1967?

Super cool item. Nice change of pace, that's a very rare item.

The auction description says signed in 1968 while on tour to Denmark and Sweden. It will go on this wall next to the signed Led Zeppelin IV album, and I have a Trey signed White Tape Phish album to go next to that

Nice Rube Andrew

great start to the month

Love that Cy Young Ryan. Sadly I was an underbidder but glad you got it

A few Ruth’s & Gehrig’s

Rube Portrait
 

Thanks Ryan and Mark!

That's a beauty!

Beautiful Rube. Ever since I learned about his life and career, ive wanted to collect a few of his cards.

What an cool wall.

One question though, Counting Crows?

Doug

Ryan...DUDE!

That wall is crazy!

Do you have Brian Jones sig on that Stones piece?

Thanks guys. Yes, Brian Jones is on the Stones pic.

Doug, the Green Day, Counting Crows and Blondie are “fillers” that will eventually yield to the Who, Janis Joplin, Beatles, Pink Floyd and there are several others I would like - Prince Purple Rain, Nirvana, traveling Wilburys, Tom petty, Dillon, etc. That said, I think Counting Crow’s August and Everything After is one of the best albums ever made.

Picked up this 100 year old find 'in the wild' at a local antiques show.

Here are my May picks

2 Catalogs that are rare and each with a special player on the cover

Awesome Jeff! Simply f'n awesome!

Ryan, love your signed album wall!

Thanks to Luke:

I got a chance to pick this up at about the comps of the two T206s raw, so I figured, "Why not?" The Snodgrass was the first T206 I ever got (still have it) and I love Marquard's stories in Glory of Their Times. Yes, I will always wonder what backs they have.

Lot of 197 signed exhibits from Memory Lane.

exhibits
 

Great pickup on those exhibits, Jay. I was following them for the Mays cards--very nice.
Brian

Freshly graded

That's a beauty Jim. PSA 1 doesn't do it justice.

Agreed looks great

Some gamers in this week.


The first is a throwback to the Christy Mathewson days. This jersey was worn by Russ Ortiz in a game against the A's. It is autographed and came with a letter of authenticity from the A's. The jersey is actually flannel as well. I can't imagine wearing this in June in Oakland. Ortiz did not pitch that day so this was worn in the dugout.

The other gamer is an alternate Kenny Lofton from his short stint on the Giants. These were only worn on Friday night home games so Lofton could only have worn it a handful of times since he was acquired at the trade deadline.

I love pins!

Just picked up my first Fatima at a local card show yesterday. Extremely excited about this new PC item!

Great Pin Aaron

Fantastic month everyone.

Doesn’t look like much, but this is a tough one.

Thank you kindly Jeff.

Clark's Bread

Great card, Chris -- nice pickup!

I think Covaleskie might be the toughest of Hall of Famer Zeenuts...congrats on snapping one up Ed.

Brian

I was like 🙂

Great Dussault card. That is still one of my favorite hobby finds I have ever made. Thanks for bringing that old thread back up… great memories!

Awesome Coveleski! Such a tough one to find!

Thanks, I was surprised to find it on eBay.

Just got this one graded happy to have it as part of my collection.

That’s cool.

Sure, it's just an A, but it looks pretty good for an A, and I got it for an A price. So I'm willing to overlook the fact that it's had a haircut.

T3s are a BST pick up and another over-sized gem added this month. Attachment 570816Attachment 570817Attachment 570818Attachment 570819

great pickups and love the Joss Card

Latest addition to the revised Howe McCormick collection
 

While a lot of Howe’s cards have been available of late, the majority of them were either dupes I had sold off, or cards I already had an example of. But not this guy.

There are still about 146 cards that I either missed when Scott was selling off the lot from last years Goldin Auction, or cards that we haven’t seen with the stamp. There were five in the most descent REA auction in a lot of 69 or so stamped cards I don’t have, if you happen to have been the winner of that lot, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks.

Member pick-up.

Thanks
Chad

BIG thanks to Patrick on T206 OM Brown. "Funny" card --- Long ago I put this combo in the "I don't think I'm going to get this one" category. To tell the truth, I almost forgot it existed .............................. :o

Also Bobby came through with the T207 Johnson .............. "Worst image ever" ............ :p

Fun, Fun, Scott :rolleyes:

That's a really cool Mize card. Very nice pickup

First Nap! The back is something else lol.

Won a pretty nice Collins IndyBrew in the last REA, and got around to scanning it:

Interesting back! If only we knew the backstory. (no pun intended, sort of )
.

Not quite pre-war, but I thought it was interesting. It appears to be a Tigers Team Issue Postcard of Hal Newhouser, autographed. Postmarked 1948. Newhouser has so few cards so I was happy to add this one to my collection.

Thrilled to nab this WaJo and Street today...top-graded in a set very harshly graded by PSA...one of my white whales....

n162
 

I picked up 39 of the non-baseball N162’s. Leaves me with one baseball and three others to complete the set. This has to be among the best looking sets ever. Always feel like its inadequate to only have the baseball subset, especially when the others are generally more reasonable to be had. Have done the same with T3s with the boxers. Also can get the albums for these, those are gorgeous too and not very pricey.

This group is simply gorgeous, and graded low by SGC’s new grading system mostly due to minor back issues which are mostly some slight paper loss which is hard to notice, or light staining on the back. A sample of four from the group.

Two Lovely Misses
 

Found a super clean example of this postcard, Two Lovely Misses

RPPC Cobb
 

Ty Cobb postcards are highly collectible, and gaining in popularity along with value every year. RPPCs are starting to come into play for postcard collectors as they are unique and it’s rare to find multiples of the same image. I was fortunate enough to pickup this 1916 RPPC (bottom picture) with a crystal clear image of the Georgia peach. It makes a great addition to my 1910 tour of Cuba RPPC (top left picture). The other card (top right) is a from a series of cards issued by the Hubel hotel and few are known to exist.

wow. Your eye for cards, photos etc is really sharp

Congrats on these pickups

1912 Giants, Matty standing at right....highest graded....

Picked up another Cobb bat off…

May Pickups
 

Ticked off a couple of T206 HOF’ers at the Dallas Show yesterday.

Was able to get my first Sovereign back at what I thought was a steal for a low grade raw HOF’er in Miller Huggins. It’s off to SGC.

Won this in REA last night

Was the under bid on the PSA...ended up getting the SGC the next morning for about $3oo less. 👍

Picked up these tough 1931 W-502s on ebay.
